Liv tore from their arms and ran to Will’s cabin. She shook the handle, and found the door locked. She looked frantically around for something to break the door, when from inside she heard a small whimper, followed by a sharp cry, and staggered breathing.

She opened her mouth to speak, but her strength was depleting. She threw herself against the door, breaking it, and falling to the ground.

The cabin was dark, and Liv could hear Will’s shallow breathing. She looked up to his bunk, only his leg hung off the side. She crawled over to the bunk and pulled herself up.

Will lay on his back, dagger in hand, his wrists bloody. His clothes were soaked with rum. His face was gaunt, and he was staring at the ceiling.

“W-Will?” Liv gasped. “I’m here, I came back.” She said weakly.

He didn’t turn his head.

“Please, please!” She felt a tear on her cheek. “I came back for you.”

Will gasped and turned his eyes to her. “Its too late for me, my love. I love you more then anyone else in this world.” His eyes slowly fluttered shut.

“No…NO!” screamed Liv. She took his bloody hand kissed it. “Its not supposed to be this way.”

She sobbed heavily, as Jack came to the door. And for the first time in years, he felt tears in his eyes. He moved slowly to Liv and touched her shoulder.

“I killed two tonight. I killed two trying to save one. I wanted Legarth to try and take my back; I wanted to kill him in front of Will. I wanted to kill him for Will.”

Jack stood and smoothed Will’s hair away from his thin face. “I’m so sorry mate.”

He pulled the covers over his face and hugged Liv tightly. Liv looked down at Will’s body. The body once that was so warm, so protecting, so gentle, so comforting, now lies cold and dead. Liv moved the cover away from his lips and lowered hers to his. She kissed him softly, as his lips twitched beneath the kiss.

She pulled away quickly, as his eyes started to flutter and open slightly. Liv gasped, and felt her tears again. He’s alive.

Jack’s eyes popped from his head, as he ran from the room, sobbing.

Liv fell to Will’s side. “My love. My god I love you so much.” She leaned over and kissed his lips.

“Liv…” he whispered. “I’m not leaving you again.” The side of his mouth turned up slightly.

Liv put her head on his chest and sobbed heavily. “I’m so sorry.”

“No,” said Will quietly. “I am.”

The ship silently sailed out of Port Royal, with a northward coarse.
